  FIELD OF VIEW IN AERIAL |
In a region known for great waterfront destinations, Jamestown is not yet on the map. Visitors flock to attractions around the lake, including the Chautauqua Institution and Bemus Point, but Jamestown has not yet tapped the potential for the Chadakoin to serve as a major destination for residents and visitors. Drawing more people to the riverfront would raise the profile of other downtown attractions, setting up an opportunity to enhance downtown and strengthen the region’s appeal as a tourism destination. Communities across the country are transforming underutilized industrial waterfronts into new settings for cultural activities, community recreation, tourism, and residential development. Over the last year Jamestown has successfully implemented the initial stage of a riverwalk along the Chadakoin River. This represents an important first step in tapping the potential of the river. But transforming an attractive project into an important economic catalyst for region will require several additional, ambitious and interrelated steps |
